My Java development and Android findings, thoughts and rants. I expect to mainly post about JDesktop and Android related issues but will no doubt go off topic many many times.

I'm writing this as someone who actually uses Java at the coal face and not as someone who sits in an ivory tower quoting happy day scenarios. So don't expect perfect code, full use of patterns. I'll be posting about stuff that is actually useful for me and with any luck others!

Core Java Books

So whats this blog about

Well I suppose I should start by explaining what my reasons are for creating the blog. Simply it seems a great way of recording my findings as I work with Java and also for me to indulge in the occasional rant!.

There are many things from week to week that I have to learn which invariably I forget soon after. I intend to jot any useful stuff down, if this is of any use to others that is fantastic.

My main interests at the moment are Java Swing, JavaFX (Still awaiting the 2.0 early release) and also I've just started investigating Android Development. I will probably delve in to talking about build tools and development processes at various points in time.
